RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds for Discord Bot [Node.JS] using Distube NPM Module

Ask Question
I have made music commands for my discord bot using the distube NPM module. The issue i am facing is that sometimes ( this doesn't happen always ) and its not with a specific command, it occurs randomly with any music command under distube.
This is the error that i am facing.

I'm not pretty sure of my answer but it seems you're running out of memory as it shows in lines 3,
26.08 00:11:45 [Bot] Startup RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds
So maybe try to get a better host with more memory that can handle your bot!
                The hosting i am using is pebblehost and it is only using 145 MB of memory and the plan i bought provides 1024 MB. So i don't think that is the issue.

Due to opusscript package. Uninstall it and install @discordjs/opus instead.
npm uninstall opusscript
npm install @discordjs/opus
